Suddenly, a person under the old man let out a miserable scream.

When everyone rushed to help, they found it was too late, the person was already dead.

Just moments after death, the whole body looked as if it had been drained of blood, resembling a withered tree, with a large surrounding area; the entire corpse was shriveled, anyone unaware might think it was a zombie from ancient times.

The old man exhaled: "Retreat."

Everyone returned to their positions, there was a cry.

Little Taotie noticed Queen Flower Lady was extremely anxious at the moment, her eyes were red.

The miserable scream came from her ex-boyfriend.

He won’t be in trouble!

He wronged me, he’s a bad person!

Bad people always live long!

Queen Flower Lady’s face was pale, looking very unwell.

Little Taotie asked worriedly: "Sister, do you have low blood sugar? Do you want to eat some candy?"

Intending to refuse, Queen Flower Lady finally chose to accept.

Little Taotie opened her mouth, putting a Lollipop into it, revealing a sweet, large smile: "Is it tasty?"

Indeed, sweets can soothe one’s emotions.

Queen Flower Lady nodded, but her heart remained anxious and tense.

Hua Jinyan asked soulfully: "Are you worried about your ex-boyfriend?"

Queen Flower Lady didn’t know how to explain, she coughed dryly: "I’m just concerned about a colleague."

"Oh." Hua Jinyan casually responded, clearly perfunctory, easily seeing through her avoidance.

Queen Flower Lady squeezed her hands, resisting the urge to hit someone.

At this moment, the old man and others had already returned, Queen Flower Lady hurried to the entrance of the passage to meet them. Each needed assistance, a pull to smoothly exit the passage.

Finally, it was the old man carrying a man out.

Queen Flower Lady wanted to ask but dared not, her gaze fixed intently on the pale-faced, bloodless-lipped man.

"He..." Queen Flower Lady eventually didn’t ask, fearing to hear a bad answer.

The old man seemed to understand her thoughts and directly answered: "Timely rescue, with previous experience, we found the chaotic vines to prevent him from being drained of blood; though he’s currently experiencing significant blood loss, he’s not in major danger, and with proper nourishment, he’ll recover soon."

Hearing this, Queen Flower Lady exhaled, realizing she hadn’t let go of this old flame.

She smiled self-deprecatingly.

Clearly betrayed, yet still recalling his goodness, reluctant to part with his goodness, dreaming of him at night, seeing him ignites the heart with fire, but the fire stems from too much care for him.

Queen Flower Lady never considered herself a love-struck fool, but now defeated by this truth, perhaps she is indeed a love-struck fool.

Queen Flower Lady stepped forward, wanting to support the man from the old man’s back, but was stopped by Xiaoxiao’s smile, "He can’t be moved around randomly, his bones are fragile, several fractures occurred during the rescue."

The vines of the withered tree not only sucked blood but also marrow, causing bones to be fragile and easily cracked.

Queen Flower Lady dared not move, feeling somewhat at a loss, "Then I... can I do anything to help?"

The old man looked at her deeply and said: "Make something he likes to eat; I think no one knows his preferences better than you."

Queen Flower Lady immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand!"

The old man turned to glance at the passage under the black boulder, already heading down, below was pitch dark.

"Let’s go, everyone back." The old man led the way forward, not looking back.

Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan followed at the back of the group, Little Taotie whispered: "Hair Strand, do you want to go into the passage to consume your body?"
